Chapter 1759 The Student Is Smarter Than the Teacher
Everyone returned to their seats and sat down to wait for Wu Li to distribute the test papers. Wu Duo looked frozen by now and was no longer as energetic as he was in the morning. Qiao Mei only took a quick glance at Wu Duo curiously and continued with her test paper after confirming that his life was not in danger.
Qiao Mei sped through the test papers for the last few subjects and submitted them eagerly. Her day at school was finally over! She could go home and play with Xia Fan and Xia Xing.
At noon, Qiao Mei had cooked many dishes for Xia Fang. When Xia Fang went home at night, she could just heat them up for her meal. Although Qiao Mei really wanted to help improve Xia Fang’s life, she could not be at two places at the same time. She still had to go home and take care of the two babies.
Feng Hua realized that Xia Xing was gradually talking more and more. In the past, she only knew how to shout “Wow”, but now, she could make sounds which sounded like words. Feng Hua believed that with her guidance, it would not be long before Xia Xing could start to speak clearly.
Xia Fan was a little lacking in this aspect and still did not like to talk much. Apart from eating, he only liked to sleep. His small arms were as chubby as legs of ham, to the extent that his joints could no longer be seen.
Qiao Mei was not in a hurry. Every child was different, especially since her children had more innate potential than others. She could not compare her children with other children.
At the moment, she only looked forward to hearing them call out “Mommy” and “Daddy”. She wondered if Xia Zhe would be able to make it in time…
Early the next morning, Qiao Mei drove to school again. There were already many people in Xia Fang’s neighborhood who had noticed Qiao Mei’s car. It was unrealistic to change to another car, so she decided to have a talk with Grandpa Yan Xi about buying a parking spot at school. It was better to be famous at school than to cause trouble for Xia Fang.
Yesterday’s test papers had all been marked and graded. Today, the teachers of the various subjects would come and explain the questions and answers to them. Wu Li asked Qiao Mei to go to the podium to present the answers for him. It was not that he was lazy, but he wanted everyone to see Qiao Mei’s capability and to prove that Qiao Mei was not just a pretty face. He wanted to make sure that those people who were still not convinced by Qiao Mei did not have any other unrealistic ideas.
Qiao Mei did not let him down. She explained each question in detail and could even explain the answers better than him. It was not that the teachers here did not work hard enough, but that the knowledge Qiao Mei had was 40 years more advanced than what they knew! It was perfectly understandable for the teachers not to know as much as her.
Wu Li was not the only one who noticed this phenomenon. Even the physics and chemistry teachers felt that they were not as good as Qiao Mei. They all felt very ashamed that as teachers, they were actually inferior to a student.
In the past, without the college entrance examination, academic qualifications were quite useless. It was just a piece of paper. As long as there was a letter of recommendation, anyone could become a university student. Naturally, the requirements needed to become a teacher were also much lower. Now that the college entrance examination had been reinstated, everyone valued this opportunity very much. As teachers, they also wanted to do better.
After standing for the entire morning. Qiao Mei felt quite tired. She told Wu Li she wanted to take leave in the afternoon to go home and rest. Anyway, she had gotten full marks in all her subjects, so there was no need for her to attend this class.
Wu Li was more than happy to let Qiao Mei go home and rest. He did not mind if Qiao Mei did not show up at all this entire semester and just turned up to take the college entrance examination as a student of Sixth High. This way, the teachers would also look less useless.
Qiao Mei first went to Xia Fang’s house to make lunch for her before returning to the courtyard house. As soon as she reached home, she rummaged through her things. She remembered that she had collected many calligraphy pieces and paintings last year and there was one painting by a modern artist whom Yan Xi liked in particular. Furthermore, it was the artist’s final piece of art before retirement.
Since Yan Xi liked it, she decided to send it to his house. It could also be considered as her thank you gift to him for teaching Zhang Chao for such a long time and for standing up for her in school.
Yan Xi was at home, chatting with his wife, Qiu Ye. The two of them were academics who liked to drink tea and play chess when they were free. They lived very comfortable lives and there was nothing really important for him to do at Sixth High. Usually, it was the vice-principal who signed the documents on his behalf. He just had to go to the school once or twice a month.
“Grandpa Yan Xi! I’m here to visit you!” Qiao Mei said with a smile as she walked into the courtyard.
“Why are you here to see me at this hour? Shouldn’t you be in school at this time?” Yan Xi looked at Qiao Mei kindly and asked in a very gentle voice, with no intention of reprimanding Qiao Mei at all.
